Reporting Times to US Preclearance

Passengers must clear all formalities a minimum of 60 minutes before the scheduled departure time of your flight. Please allow adequate time for this process as failure to report on time may affect your ability to travel.

Permitted Food Items

There are restrictions on food items that can be brought in to the US. For full details see www.cbp.gov In order to avoid delays we suggest that all food items be carried in hand luggage, declared and presented for inspection at the US Preclearance facility.

Electronic system for Travel Authorisation (ESTA) for travel to the US

Passengers who plan to travel to the US are required under the Visa Waiver Programme to apply for travel authorisation online prior to travel. The new electronic system for travel authorisation (ESTA) can be completed at https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov

Passengers will require an approved ESTA prior to boarding. An approved ESTA is valid for up to two years and multiple entries, but is not a guarantee of admissibility.

Multiple ESTA Applications

From August 2012 the ESTA web application shall accept multiple applications to be submitted and paid for in one transaction. The facility allows families or groups the ability to input up to 50 ESTA applications and complete the transaction in a single credit card payment. For more information please visit the ESTA website (Electronic System for Travel Authorization).
